Thanks for dropping in. If your looking for information on how to find wild foods or need to know how to find water in the wilderness, you’ve come to the right place. Below are some of the major areas of bushcraft buddy, but if your wondering “what exactly is bushcraft” then let me explain.

 

Bushcraft is a term made popular by various survivalists and wilderness experts and refers to a way of adventuring through the wilderness in a certain level of comfort and not in a survival situation. The difference between bushcraft and survival is that in bushcraft you are doing things for the enjoyment of being out in the wilderness, were survival is doing things because you need to in order to survive.
